When were SARPs introduced?

When were SARPs introduced?

• A. During the ICAO council in March 1974
• B. In 1980
• C. In 1960
• D. In 1990

Answer: (A)

Standards and Recommended Practices (SARPs) are the rules ICAO uses to harmonize international aviation, adopted by the ICAO Council and published in Annexes as formal, internationally binding standards and practices. The date in question corresponds to a March 1974 ICAO Council session, which is presented as the moment SARPs were introduced. This event marks the switch from general guidance to formally established standards used by member states. Other years don’t match that introduction event in the material you’re studying; they relate to later updates or different milestones, but not the initial introduction in March 1974.
